future king

Entering January, fans who expected Manchester United to make a gorgeous return will be disappointed again!

In the 20th round, a focused match was fought at the Sporting Goods Direct Selling Arena. Manchester United lost 0 to 3 away to Newcastle. Demba Ba and Cabaye scored successively, and Phil Jones scored an own goal.After Manchester United suffered a losing streak, they fell behind Manchester City by 3 points, and the Red Devils' 5-game winning streak was terminated.

The two-game losing streak in the league, as a contender for the league title, is a fact that coach Ancelotti is unwilling to accept no matter what he is in charge of Manchester United.

In the previous ten years, Manchester United had been undefeated against Newcastle in the league. The last defeat dates back to September 2001, 9, when the Magpies beat Manchester United 15-4 at St. James' Park.Pardew has had a bad year. After the stadium was renamed recently, the Northeast powerhouse lost two and drew one in three home games. However, no one expected that the defending champion helped them get off to a good start.

Before this campaign, Manchester United had hoped to break their vicious cycle of never winning six consecutive Premier League away games in the past ten years, but the goals of Demba Ba and Cabaye made Ancelotti stop thinking early. This is the first time in 6 years that his team conceded 8 goals in two consecutive games.

In fact, after Demba Ba's beautiful volley scored, the Red Devils' defeat was already doomed.Since August 2009, when the former Manchester United coach Ferguson was still in the team, he has never made a comeback when he fell behind in the first half in the Premier League. When he fell behind, his overall record was 8 draws and 3 losses.

At this time, Newcastle's firepower broke out. They scored a total of 6 goals in the previous 13 games, one more than the sum of the previous 13 league games.Faced with such a difficult situation, coupled with watching Li Yu and Hernandez return with success in front of each other's goal time and time again, the Italian coach had no choice but to share his hands.

It would be unfair to say that Manchester United was completely at a disadvantage in the second consecutive defeat. Judging from the data analysis after the game, the home team's ball possession rate was less than 10%, but the Magpies' resolute implementation of the traditional British style of play guaranteed them Advantage at the door.Newcastle took 5 shots and 6 shots on goal in the game, while Manchester United shot 3 times and only 3 shots on goal. Even if all [-] goals were scored, it would be a tie with the opponent.The Red Devils had nothing to do with their opponents, and the gap in the goal reflected the sluggish state of the striker.

Li Yu was treated brutally by his opponents, and many of the too rough actions were only aimed at Li Yu alone. Although Ancelotti did not loudly criticize the referee during the game, it can still be seen from the constant gestures that the Italian coach Dissatisfaction with the referee. [

It can be said that Newcastle tied Li Yu with rough moves, which was the incentive for Manchester United to lose two consecutive games.In the last game against Blackburn, the same tactical arrangement also received miraculous results. Newcastle played at their home court and used it even more recklessly.

It has to be said that with Li Yu alone and the rest of Manchester United in a slump, this time is the rhythm of Manchester United's loss. No one stood up to support Li Yu's attack. It is not surprising that Manchester United did not score in the game.

Seeing that the team desperately needed to surpass Manchester City in points, they actually gave a hand to the deputy squad leader.In this game, Hernandez's sleepwalking state also completely disappointed Ancelotti, and then he was replaced in the 57th minute. The striker became a younger Welbeck, which at least increased the ball to a certain extent. The vitality of the team on the field.

There was nothing wrong with Ancelottisen's substitution. In the first half, Hernandez's ball protection in the opponent's corner flag area was easily intercepted by the opponent. He didn't even chase back and gave up the ball.

The front line is not uplifting, and the performance of the defense line is also bad. They have conceded 6 goals in two consecutive games, and the opponents are not strong teams. The Red Devils' defense can't help but make people sweat.Phil Jones sent his second own goal of the season, and what is even more frustrating is the strange cooperation between him and Lindegard. Will the parachutist lose his morale because of his losing streak?In the 2th minute of the opening game, Evra gave Newcastle a perfect counterattack opportunity because of his preemptive grab. If it weren't for Demba Ba's sole slip, the score might have been rewritten early.

The midfield was originally the least affected part of Manchester United due to injuries, but the forward line composed of Giggs, Park Ji-sung, Carrick and Nani did not even send a threatening pass throughout the game. I don’t know. Will Scholes in front of the TV feel chilled seeing such a scene.In the "Sky Sports" score after the game, only four of the Manchester United team passed, including Lindegard who conceded three goals, which shows that the team's state is really bad.

Even more unfortunate is that Manchester United's next game is away to Manchester City in the FA Cup, the "noisy" neighbor who gave them a disastrous experience this season.

Once a three-game losing streak is caused (it does not seem unexpected), the team's confidence collapses, which will be a disaster that Ferguson can't recover by any means.Worst of all, Manchester United's schedule for some time to come is also extremely unfavorable to them.From the end of January, they will face Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool and Ajax in succession.

On New Year's Eve, they challenged the Gunners away, followed by Stoke City, who are good at long balls, and then faced Chelsea and Liverpool in six consecutive days, and then Ajax.Such a devil's schedule really tests the confidence and courage of the Red Devils soldiers. Any catastrophic collapse will be an unbearable pain in Ancelotti's coaching career.

The British "Sun" conducted an assessment of the value of the top six Premier League lineups at the end of last year. Among them, the value of Manchester United and Manchester City's lineups should be comparable (Manchester City's total worth is 1856 billion pounds, Manchester United's 1621 billion pounds, not counting the injured Victoria. Dickey), but in terms of the value of the rotatable substitute lineup, the Red Devils are a full 5000 million pounds behind their rivals in the same city!

This is a gap that can be made up with one stroke. After halfway through the league, Manchester United is full of injuries after Christmas, and the depth of the bench has already been reflected. Even in this situation, Ferguson still insists on refusing to sign in in winter People find it difficult to understand.Considering the painful schedule that the Red Devils are about to go through, if there is no more signings in winter, it will be more enjoyable to congratulate Manchester City for winning the championship!

What is intriguing is that Ferdinand's comeback allowed An Shuai to finally deploy two Zhengyin central defenders in the main lineup, and Carrick, who was already a little holler, finally ended his lackluster cameo performance.

Coupled with the fact that Lindegard, who had kept a goal in the Premier League five times before, returned to replace De Gea who made a big mistake in the last round, Manchester United's defense seems very reliable.But the result stunned everyone. Newcastle's attack line, which is far from luxurious, played a world-class value in front of the Red Devils' defensive players. Among them, Demba Ba made Ferdinand, who had just come back, completely lose the former Premier League No. 5 The dignity of the defender.

Before the 19th round of the Premier League, Manchester United was the best defensive team in the league, conceding only 18 goals in 14 games, proudly showing the Red Devils' strong comeback after 1-6.But after consecutive losses to Blackburn and Newcastle, the number of goals conceded by Manchester United has soared to 20 goals. More importantly, the goal difference between them and Manchester City has been widened to 11 goals. A cent of the effort was wasted in just one week.The culprit for this embarrassing result is suspected to be the team's defense full of flaws.

If it weren't for referee Weber's mercy, Ferdinand might have given a big gift to his opponent in the 24th minute. Demba Ba received a through ball from his teammate and broke into the penalty area. The 33-year-old Ferdinand could not keep up with Demba Ba. Wanting to stretch his legs to intercept, he directly inserted his foot between Demba Ba's legs. The Newcastle striker was violently upset to the ground, but Webber signaled the game to continue, and Manchester United escaped. [

However, Demba Ba's test of Ferdinand was not over. In fact, until he was substituted in the 89th minute, Demba Ba made Manchester United's defense panic almost every time he took the ball.In the 31st minute, Demba Ba leaned on Ferdinand to receive a long pass from the backcourt. Ferdinand rode on Demba Ba's shoulders in desperation and overwhelmed him. The sporting goods direct selling arena is booed.

But the referee was lenient and could not hold back the fig leaf for Ferdinand. Only 2 minutes later, Demba Ba once again won the dialogue with Ferdinand. At that time, Krul's long pass directly hit the front of the Manchester United penalty area. , Ameobi grabbed the header ahead of Phil Jones and rubbed it back. Demba Ba scored a volley hook from 13 yards in front of the goal. For the loyal audience of this wonderful goal.

Since then, Demba Ba, who played confidently, has become more and more arrogant. Almost all the long passes are stopped-turned-passing to bully Ferdinand, whose speed has seriously degraded.

In the 46th minute, Demba Ba quickly dribbled the ball and launched a counterattack. It was just a simple oblique acceleration to throw off Ferdinand. Phil Jones couldn't make up the defense and knocked him down. Cabaye took advantage of this free kick opportunity , Helping the home team extend their lead to two goals.In the 69th minute, Ferdinand, who had been exhausted by Demba Ba, almost made a big mistake in a panic. He headed back to Lindegaard but deflected the ball, and Demba Ba almost missed it. The ball was blocked and hit the goal directly. Fortunately, Ferdinand used his experience to rely on Demba Ba to regain the ball and avoided the tragedy.

In the 72nd minute, Demba Ba beat Ferdinand again in the air confrontation, and his header from the edge of the small penalty area narrowly missed the far post.

The post-match statistics of opt showed that Ferdinand's pass success rate in this campaign was only 696%, which was only higher than that of goalkeeper Lindegaard, who frequently received back passes from his teammates and cleared them with big feet, among Manchester United players. The success rate is even more pitiful at 357%. To make matters worse, Ferdinand conceded a total of 18 goals in this campaign, and only 6 times were able to regain the ball. As a central defender, this is simply a nightmare and sleepwalking data.

Take a look at the performance of the opponent's two central defenders. Williamson conceded 7 times and 3 counter-robbers, Coloccini conceded 10 times and 8 counter-robbers. Even Phil Jones, who scored an own goal, had 7 goals. The performance of conceding the ball 7 times for the first time. "Sky Sports" gave Ferdinand only 5 points after the game, and used his hard work to describe his embarrassment when defending Demba Ba.However, Ferdinand is not Manchester United's lowest scoring player. Phil Jones, who performed well for most of the game, unfortunately became the worst player in the game because of a low-level own goal at the last moment.

Phil Jones was used by Anshuai as a panacea in the midfield due to his comprehensive technical characteristics. Phil Jones, who returned to the central defender position, did not show much in the confrontation with Ameobi. At the same time, the 897% pass success rate and the defensive data of 7 clearances, 5 tackles and 7 counter-robbers are also very impressive, but the short-circuit of the brain at the last moment of the game turned the team from a complete defeat to a one-off. fiasco.

In the 90th minute, Krul's big foot drove directly into Manchester United's penalty area. Phil Jones did not see Lindegard who had moved ahead of time and was about to control the ball. Instead, he took the ball to the middle of the goal for granted. , resulting in tragedy.In fact, even if Lindegard did not move his position at that time, Phil Jones's back pass was very difficult to catch. It can be seen that when the team's defeat is already certain, the young England defensive genius will inevitably fall. Psychological fluctuations, the new Edwards?He still has a long way to go.

In contrast, although the golden body of the Premier League without conceding a goal this season has been broken by opponents three times, Lindegard is not too responsible for the team's three conceded goals. It is not just the Danes who were previously criticized The same is true of De Gea who is completely skinned. Do you still remember the heroism of De Gea at the top of the save list at the beginning of the season?As the goalkeeper of the defending champion, leading in this technical statistics, everyone knows whose scapegoat the young Spaniard has become.Ferguson said before the game: "David (De Gea) made two mistakes against Blackburn, but Lindegaard will show more experience." The defense brought about a qualitative change, the midfield protection was weak, and the central defender's defense was tight, which was the most fundamental reason for the team to lose the ball frequently.

This season, Manchester United has encountered a large area of ​​injuries, but Ancelotti, who is good at deploying, still has full confidence in his men, and proudly said: "There is no suitable signing target in the winter transfer market. Rio (Ferdinand) and a young player is the most reasonable defensive combination, currently Rio is in very good physical condition, so I have no worries about the team's defense."

Facts have proved that the negative impact of Vidic's season reimbursement on the team can not only be compensated by Anshuai's encouragement in the interview.The old and new defenses alternate, the central midfielder's interception, or the same sentence, the Manchester United lineup left to Anshuai actually needs a lot of repairs!

There is only one solution, signings.

After a disastrous home defeat to Blackburn, the deputy squad leader of the league, he was beaten by Newcastle with 3 goals. This winter has been extremely cold for Ancelotti and his team. The important reason why Manchester United has been opened up again in the competition with their "noisy neighbor" Manchester City is that although it is supported by Ancelotti's strategizing and rich background, at least in terms of strength, the Red Devils have been defeated. Blue Moon was left behind.

Why worry?Only signings!The only thing that can cure the current Red Devils Manchester United is to look forward to the joining of a superstar player.

News from the "Daily Mail" revealed that the Dutch midfielder Sneijder, who passed by Manchester United last summer, is now once again linked with Old Trafford.The newspaper said that Ancelotti almost signed the Inter Milan midfielder half a year ago, but because the latter asked for a maximum salary of 25 pounds, Ancelotti retreated. Now, Manchester United is fighting again. Following Sneijder's idea, Ancelotti needed the scheduling and organizational skills of the Dutch king in the midfield to fight against the powerful Manchester City team.

According to news from Italy, the "Daily Mail" confirmed that in view of the fact that Moratti's Nerazzurri have re-emerged "strong interest" in Tevez, who was abandoned by Manchester City, Inter Milan, which is suffering from transfer liquidity, is likely to Tout Sneijder for cash to position himself well against Milan and Paris Saint-Germain against Tevez. "Now I dare not 100% guarantee that I will stay at Inter Milan, because some unexpected things will happen from time to time..." Sneijder once said so ambiguously.

Of course, in the ever-changing transfer market, second-hand preparations must be made.According to sources from tlksport, Manchester United also intends to take further action on Brazil's talented rising star Ganso.

Earlier in an interview, the chairman of the Santos club, Luis Oliveira, expressed his willingness to let Gansuo go. "If the player himself wants to leave, then we will listen carefully to offers from other clubs, but so far, we have not received any official offers for him. Of course, everything can be discussed." Oliveira Ambiguous expression.However, tlksport also revealed that Milan and Paris Saint-Germain are also eyeing the Brazilian midfielder genius.

Another player who caught the attention of Manchester United is the Barcelona teenager Cuenca. The news from tlksport revealed that the Spanish media "Daily Sport" further confirmed that Manchester United has sent scouts to the Nou Camp many times to inspect the Barcelona star. Performance.The 20-year-old Spanish flying wing Cuenca has a height of 1 meters. After being promoted to the first team from the Barcelona b team this season, he has already made his mark in La Liga. So far, he has played 81 games for Barcelona in all competitions and scored 11 goals. With 4 assists, it is another outstanding product of the current La Masia youth training camp.

In view of the fact that the Barcelona teenager's contract with the club will expire in June this year, Cuenca has already attracted the coveting of many Premier League clubs including Manchester City, Manchester United and Arsenal. It is also in full swing.In addition, the teenager Macheda, who did not get the opportunity to play in the Manchester United team, hinted that he would leave the Red Devils forever. The Italian had just joined Queen's Park on loan.

"Everyone is eager to play for Manchester United. It's a great club with a long history, but I've been out on loan for the second time (Sampdoria) and I'll think about it after this loan is over. down my future."
